2018 JUN 29 -- Day 79

Woo! Down, down, down goes the weight. This is a thing that is currently happening in my life. And this is after I basically pigged-out for the past two days. I probably didn't pig-out, but I really feel like I ate a lot. The point, though, is that I lost 1.4 lbs. That's quite a bit. I'm over the moon! I guess I am a bit like the cow in the nursery rhyme.

Starting weight: 401 lbs
Current weight: 354.2 lbs 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs

I made myself the most delicious omelet. I sauteed some onions in butter, and then I added black olives and broccoli into that. I whisked four eggs and poured that over the olives, broccoli and onions. Then when the eggs cooked through, I spread out four Havarti cheese slices over the whole thing, and then folded in half onto a plate like a proper omelette. I topped it with one more slice of Havarti.

I ate that whole thing and some bullet proof coffee. It was so good! Later on, I ate one more meal of two dill pickles, four hard-boiled eggs, and an entire eight-ounce block of cream cheese spread and wrapped into some roasted seaweed sheets. And today, I am down by 1.4 lbs over yesterday! This is insanity! This is just further proof that keto works, and the only time you would gain considerable weight is if you are knocked out of ketosis.

I can't believe how unhealthy these meals sound to my brainwashed mind. We have all been taught from a very early age that fat is bad, carbohydrates are good, and eating less and moving more is the key to weight loss. It simply isn't true. I think I'm a little bit mad at the lies we have all been told and taught as absolute truths!

I am reading Dr. Fung's book, The Obesity Code. My eyes are wide open now. I didn't know what I didn't know. It's amazing! I'm grateful that I know this now, but I'm sad that I spent so many years of my life being obese when I didn't have to be. I spent so long fighting this problem, and it's all because of faulty information handed down by politicians. And the whole world continues to place the blame in the wrong place; the whole world blames the victims and makes the victims feel as if we are at fault for something out of our control!

I'm mad at the food pyramid. The food pyramid is a lie graph:

2017 OCT 25 -- Day 67

I don't have much to say today. I thought I had beaten the plateau, but it is still going strong. I'm the same weight today as I was yesterday. This is not fun, but now I sound like a bit of a broken record. I'm not going to say much today, so I'll share a recipe. Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight: 378.2 lbs Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  359 lbs Japanese-style Ginger Salad Dressing This goes well as a coleslaw dressing. I've used it with a mix of classic cabbage slaw and Asian-style broccoli slaw. 1-1/2 C chopped yellow onion 1 C peanut oil 1/2 C rice wine vinegar 1/2 C water 3 tsp fresh ginger root, minced or grated 3-1/2 tsp fresh garlic, minced or grated 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 4 tbsp lemon juice 4 tsp sugar 4 tsp soy sauce 4 tsp ground mustard 4 tsp sesame seeds Place all ingredients except sesame seeds into a small food processor and pulse for 1 minute, or until desired consistency.  Stir in sesame seeds.

2017 AUG 30 -- Day 11

I weighed myself before work again tonight. I like these lower numbers. I'm pretty sure this is due to not eating during sleep for at least 6 hours. Whatever the case, I'll take it! Yay! Low number! Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight:  406.4 lbs  ⇩  Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  399 lbs I'm at work. It's 10:30 PM. I've been feeling the hungry growly monster in my tummy, but I've been ignoring him... until now. I'm eating my sandwich. According to the book, you are only supposed to feel hungry when you're body is below its set-point. Is my set point higher than 406.4 lbs? Wow! I need to find out how to lower that a lot faster. How can I make it 145 lbs? LOL. I know the answer to this. It gradually becomes lower over time; I must be patient. The trend is still downward on the whole, but right now it is still well above the first measurement I took at 404.8 the day I got my scale. It's going down, and I saw 406.4 lbs today ...

2017 SEP 1 -- Day 13

I splurged a bit on high-set-point food this weekend. I have regrets. I also have a rather large up-blip as a result. I ate pizza with my favorite toppings which is a very familiar flavor making it a more fattening food according to Seth's theory. Flavor recognition makes food more fattening, basically, because there are very strong flavor-calorie associations. Foods with very familiar flavors are called "ditto" foods, and ditto foods must be avoided. It's possible to change the flavor of the food so it is not a ditto food, but I didn't do that. The result: Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight:  410.4 lbs  ⇧   Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  399 lbs This seems like a huge setback, but I'm going to ignore it for now and just keep truckin'. I'm sure I can drop it again in a few days as I did before. The graph of my numbers since starting is very reassuring. I now know how to regain control. I simply have to remember to use m...
